Then, you can make use of a jigsaw to drill out the hole. Follow the line you have drawn carefully taking your time and making sure that you remove only the amount of material needed. After the material has been removed, press the flap to ensure that it closes and opens smoothly. If it does not, it is important to note this and employ a file or a rasp to adjust the size of the hole.
Then, you can insert the flap in the hole. Utilize the bolts included in your package to screw it into place. After the flap has been inserted, apply any sealant recommended to ensure that your door is protected from wind, rain and cold.
